Director Biography

Sandrine studied in Film Production (directing) and feature writing. She then went to London and Moscow to achieve a master in European Classical. This trip inspired her enough to start writing her first feature film. As she writes, she also continues to shoot short films projects and explores different aspects of the narrative.

SIFF's mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world. It is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed, aware, and alive.
